Much like plunging the pot, but less work! **As I mentioned once before, I read the suggestions somewhere in an English garden publication to line the insides of terra cotta pots with bubble wrap. Just the sides, of course, not the very bottom. I have been doing this in all my larger pots, terra cotta, wood, etc. and won't really know much until next year. I initially lined them to conserve on water in the summers here, even in cooler NoCal. -- susan, who is..... owned by Jasper & Schubert the Standard Poodles, Gracie the Rhodesian, Pup-Quiz the Basenji and their Basenji brother, Jones.... on the North Coast of CA, USA susanann@sbcglobal.net, copyright 2004
